Ocean Salt

Product Actions

Variations

Washing with Ocean Salt is like taking your face on a trip to the seaside for an invigorating splash in the water. The minerals in sea salt soften as it scrubs away dirt, dead skin and blockages for a bright, fresh face. We mix in fresh avocado and coconut to hydrate thirsty skin, leaving it balanced and soft. The cleansing effects of lime and vodka are ideal for blocked pores, blackheads or blemishes and leave skin visibly brightened. It's no wonder Ocean Salt is so enormously popular!

How to use

Splash water on your face and apply about a teaspoonful of scrub using an upward, circular motion to exfoliate and refresh the skin. Rinse thoroughly with clean water and pat dry. Ocean Salt can also be used on other parts of the body including chest, back, arms and legs.

Features

Suitable for all skin types: Ocean Salt is beneficial for combination to dull and oily skin, and works well to occasionally exfoliate dry skin.

Q:

Will this product be good for clearing up acne in general? And then what product is best for acne all over the back? Do lush products clear up acne for sure?

Yes, Ocean Salt is a fantastic cleanser that will help clear up any blemishes and help control sebum production. You can definitely use Ocean Salt for face & body!

There is no product anywhere that stops acne for sure.Everyone is different and we all get acne for different reasons.My personal use of this product did help acne on both my face and upperback.

Q:

I have keratosis pilaris along with body acne on my upper arms/shoulder blades. The only thing that clears my skin up is when i'm on vacation at the beach (ocean water, sun.) Will this product act similarly to ocean water, and clear my skin up the same?

The salt from the ocean is the same salt we have in our Ocean Salt formula! Hand-harvested. I'd recommend Ocean Salt to anyone who wants clear, even, beautiful skin.

In my opinion, nothing heals like fresh ocean water. But, this product hassome very healing ingredients. There is a high salt content, which may helpclear you up, it also has some moisturizing ingredients that may or may nothelp you. I have very oily skin on my face, so I only use this productoccasionally for my facial acne. But I am able to use this product moreoften on my arms to help clear up any bumps or dry skin I have. It's awonderful scrub, and I would recommend trying it out for yourself andseeing how it goes! As with most products, it's all about trial anderror--see what works best for you.

Q:

Would this help clear acne(clogged pores, blackheads, cysts, etc)? If so, what other products may allow someone with acne prone skin to achieve clear, glowing skin?

This is really great for exfoliation and brightening skin! I suggest Mask of Magnaminty as a weekly treatment, and Cosmetic Catastrophe would be really nice as a treatment for 3-4 times a week. Also, a daily cleanser like Herbalism or Dark Angels would work really nicely with this!

Ocean Salt is a great cleansing scrub, but I think that if you are lookingfor something to speak directly to the issues you just mentioned, I wouldactually recommend that you use a cleansing scrub like Herbalism for dailyuse (the apple cider vinegar is awesome for acne prone skin without beingabrasive), and mask of magnaminty once a week for your blackheads. If youwanted to check out the fresh face masks, Cosmetic Warrior and Cupcake areincredible (cosmetic warrior seems to be a little more balancing whilecupcake may be better if your skin is breaking out due to excess oil onyour skin). The tea tree toner is also incredible!! Hope this helps.

Q:

Explain 2 formulas for the same product? Does each formula provide the same benefits for your skin, or are there differing levels?

Although this cleanser can dry out your skin if you have very dry skin normally, it does contain avacado butter and coconut oil to restore moisture while leaving a very clean feeling. I personally have normal-oily skin and have never needed to apply a moisturizer after.

Hi Isabella! Thanks for your question. You do not always need a moisturizer after cleansing, but it is a good thing to feed your skin after. Ocean salt has lots of sea salt and lime in it which could dry out your skin but there is also a great amount of avocado butter and coconut oil in it to restore the moisture. Hope this helps!

Q:

Can I use this after shaving my face?

Asked on 7/13/2015 by Alex the seaturtle from West Palm Beach, Florida

I would use it before shaving and then after a day or two you can use it for your ingrown hairs!

Answered on 7/17/2015 by Anonymous

A:

You should really use this BEFORE to stand up your hairs and exfoliate the skin. But this item also helps with ingrown hairs so I am going to say YES IT IS OK TO USE AFTER SHAVING YOUR FACE. Remember there is salt in here. If you cut yourself, it will sting.

For a daily cleanser I would definitely recommend dark Angels, ocean saltis great as an exfoliator one or two times a week but would be kind ofrough to use twice a day. Toner is also a great way to help keep the oil onyour face in check!

Q:

Hi ! A friend of mine is going to buy me this scrub and the mask of magnaminty in one of your NYC locations. The problem is that he is going to bring me back in Brazil, so I was wondering if the travel might not be good for the conservation of the products? Can he bring those in an international travel ? Thanks

Yes, it should be perfectly fine to travel with it, but remember that he should put it in the checked bags because he won't be able to carry it on the plane. Ocean Salt has a shelf life of 12-14 months so it should be fine to use whenever he returns, but the Mask of Magnamnity only has 3-4 month shelf life so hopefully he can deliver it to you soon!

Most Lush products have a shelf life of 14 months, Ocean Salt falls intothat category. The Mask of Magniminty however has a shelf life of threemonths and should be used within that time.Both should be fine through air travel as long as your friend is checkingthe bag that they are in--the large sizes of both are over 3oz (thoughOcean Salt does come in that size if he is carrying the items on). Also besure to put these in a plastic bag either way just in case something leaks!

I wouldn't recommend using Ocean Salt on dry, irritated skin. It may make your skin more irritated.

As a lush user with eczema I wouldn't use this on anything that's alreadydry or irritated.I love this product for a facial cleanser.I use the top layer for my elbows, and the creamy bottom layer for my faceand it makes a huuuuge difference.

Yes and no. Ocean salt contains limes that were soaked in tequila, butthere is no direct alcohol added to the mix.

Answered on 7/2/2015 by Claire from Portland

A:

Yes, this product contains small amounts of vodka which limes were soaked in before squeezed, and does not smell alcoholic. It is great for combination, oily, or normal skin - in my opinion as even though it dries a little from that and the salt, it also contains avocado butter and coconut oil to replenish the moisture to your skin. This is my favorite product because it really cleanses my skin while giving it some exfoliation.

Absolutely! Be sure to moisturize after your shower as always. If shaving,use ocean salt before hand--the salt will make your hair follicles stand onend, giving you a cleaner and closer shave!

Answered on 7/2/2015 by Claire from Portland

A:

Ocean Salt is a great cleanser for the whole body! You can always add a few drops of warm water to the amount in your hand and it will melt the salt down into a finer exfoliant, if you find it's to abrasive.

Q:

Hi! I am looking to see if I could use this product as an exfoliator for my face just to wash it out and to clean my pores. I have this other face wash that I use to help prevent acne, so can I use with my other face wash on the other days I'm not using the Ocean Salt Cleanser?

Yes, you can definitely use this as to exfoliate! It's perfectly fine to use as weekly treatment to help buff your skin and leave glowing.

Where can I store this product? Around what temperature would be nice?

Our potted products are very easygoing, so there is no need to worry about how they are being stored temperature-wise. We wouldn't suggest anything warmer than room-temperature, but you are welcome to keep them chilled if you enjoy the cool feeling on your skin.

Q:

Is this something that works fine on sensitive skin? if not, is there an exfoliant you could recommend to use with sensitive skin? I'm using Fresh Farmacy as a cleanser and need something to use as an exfoliant.

Sometimes citrus and salt can irritate sensitive skin, so I would recommend checking out Angels on Bare skin, which is a deep cleaning, gentle exfoliating wash with calming and balancing lavender flowers!

Answered on 6/7/2015 by Emily from LUSH Direct

Q:

Can I use this with my clarisonic? Also, which is best for oily, acne prone skin, this one or the herbalism?

Ocean salt is an excellent scrub on it's own. I wouldn't recommend using it with any kind of spin-brush because it simply doesn't need it. Ocean Salt is recommended as being used 1 - 2 times a week while Herbalism is gentle enough to use everyday. Technically you could use both, but I'd still put the mechanical tools aside.
